>What is Battle of Nations? The Battle of the Nations is an international historical medieval battles world championship, first held in 2009, in Kharkiv, Ukraine and held in Europe, in April, every year since. It is a full contact competition using metal weapons and a standardized list of rules. National teams compete in several standard events, with all being full contact - no stage reenactment battles are included. Teams from up to 25 countries have entered the tournaments.
>What did you miss? UK vs Argentina UK vs France Finn possibly breaking a Argentinian's spine with a poleaxe.
Come support your countries! Discuss the battles and your countries armour and tactics!
They're from different countries. I'd guess most are russians.

Can Ukraine be the ones to finally stop the Russian menace?

Jayden Garcia
what in the fuck is going on here?
Sebastian Smith
The hell is happening here? They decided to get serious, got interupted and then stopped fighting?
Samuel Bennett
Looks like mexico guy and uke guy were just fighting but ended up being battle buddies. Then another mexico guy shows up to help. Mexico 1 says "ay man, pls chill." then Ukraine punches mexico 2 so he's out. Then Mexico 1 and Ukraine continue to be battle buddies.
Robert Ramirez
Ukraine.
Ukrainian and mexican having an argument. I can't remember the details, it's from last year.
Blake Nelson
Just banter
James Ross
> ukie qts taking pictures will never be yours
Daniel Harris
What do they wear? Probably some thick wool shirt (like pic related) and some leather and/or chain armor. How can that stop such massive blows from breaking your ribs? Would imagine it would take some plate armor...
Lincoln Jenkins
They did it last year. But it was Russia 3 vs Ukraine 1 and it was a match for a third place.
Christian Foster
>implying Mexico could beat Ukraine
This isn't the US border mate.
Angel Sanders

Leo Evans
your country would perhaps be less of an anti-intellectual and cultureless desert but australia is such a weird and unforgiving country that then again, maybe not
Anthony Turner
I would like to see this guy, in this battle armor go against all the teams
Caleb Jones
Looks like the little Mexican dude was shrugging off those punches from the much fatter Ukie.

Angel Scott
:/
Lincoln Jackson
But a soft armor will not be able to spread a punctual force much. Even the guy in the video says in the end that the arrow still would be a massive, bonecrushing blow...
Leo Green
ur all right francis
Blake Morris
how are the 1v1s scored?
Michael Nguyen
more group hugs
Jaxson Edwards
DELETE THIS NOW
thank you franceland i will remember this for future encounters with frenchmen
Austin Diaz
Do these tournaments have jousting too? I really hope so.
Nicholas Diaz
you gotta be objective desu
Luke Walker
People don't (usually) hit with their absolute full strength. Also in the video it's just the gambeson, don't forget about the actual armour above it.
Ian Taylor
nope
Jack Jackson
Australia was weak. Uk were really good, jus picked really silly tactic against russian team.
Elijah Brooks
Arenas need to be bigger, every duel just ends up on the edge/corner because there is no room to maneuver
Alexander Stewart
>whenever Americans fight the announcer always talks about how large they are
Leo Morgan
Well, several interviews have shown bloodied and bruised guys, so clearly they do get hurt
Tyler James
Are these duels just point fighting? Or do they have to pin/knockout opponents?
Mason Lewis
MASSIVE
Jackson Ross
Duels are mostly points.
Noah Campbell
BIG STRONG AMERICANS
Grayson Thompson

Dominic Russell
What is the advantage of using a sword or a falcon over an axe, polearm, or mace?
John Cruz
falchion*
Ryan Morales
Canada pretty cool
Asher Green
There were no medieval Americans. What is the point?
Benjamin Cruz
ew Sup Forums
Jose Collins
I don't think there is one. Certainly against full armor in medieval combat you'd be using a mace, axe, hammer, or something with a spike.
Austin Lopez
we just want to join the fun
Easton King
None. The heavier your weapon is the better. I think they're mostly just not accustomed to using anything but swords.
William Cook
Finns didn't wear plate and ringmails either.
Andrew Moore
so what, their ancestors were all Europeans, they have a right to muh middle ages if they want to same as us.
